“The Advertisers on This Page Are Responsible for Commerce and Industries’ Growth of Indianapolis”

DRIVE YOURSELF COMPANIES SEE . RAPID GROWTH Nearly Hundred Million Miles of Transportation Sold In Year. Last year drive-it-yourself companies sold between 75,000.000 and 100.000,000 miles of motor car transportation at retail. Rented motor cars, driven by salesmen and business men in general. played an important part in the commercial successes of the year. Drive-it-yourself has become a national ferm and no longer needs the quotation marks, according to officials of the Saunders System. The industry had its beginning In Omaha, Neb., just thirteen years ago last August. There has developed, in this speed age. a demand for motor car transportation. The automobile dealer sells it. Those who can afford a car buy one. They* get 40,000 to 50,000 miles of transportation. Retail Transportation. There are other millions who need motor car transportation. But, because of the initial cost, they are unable to invest in wholesale quantities. The drive-it-yourself motor car is the answer. The man who needs a car can get one for a mile or a thousand miles. Many business executives make use of drive-it-yourself motor cars for salesmen. Drive-it-yourself cars also provide the “second car - ’ for the family. The great growth of this form of transportation is best illustrated by the Sounders System. Inc. On August 21, 1915, Joe Saunders, a real estate man, inserted the following want ad in the Omaha World-Her-ald: "Five-passenger Ford for rent. Perfect running condition, nearly new. Will rent to reliable party by hour, day or week. You may drive the car yourself." Has Eighty Branches Today, the company has eighty branches in fifty-four cities. Instead of one “nearly new* Ford." the company now* has 2,000 motor cars worth $2,000,000 and in 1928 sold 20.000.000 miles of transportation. In Indianapolis, cars may be rented from Saunders branch offices at 311 North Pennsylvania street and 39 Kentucky avenue. A. C. Singleton is.lndianapolis manager. Saunders rates recently were reduced to 6 cents a mile plus 30 cents an hour for new model Fords. 8 cents a mile plus 35 cents an hour for Dc Soto cars and 9 cents a mile plus 35 cents an hour for Chryslers. No hour charge is made from 1 a. m. to 8 a. m. Gas and oil is included in the rates. Navy to Establish Office P.-i Times Special BLOOMINGTON. Ind..

GOLD BILL IS HEAVY Paper Cups Use Prevents illness. Says Firm. If you kept book on colds, the "cold bill” would loom about as large as any account on your ledger, according to the Ostermeyer Paper Company, 148 Virginia avenue. But because the cold is a minor disease, the average business man looks on the payroll loss caused by colds as a petty item. Cold, according to data compiled by the company. cause, a greater loss to industry than any other one thing. Hundreds of millions of dollars would be saved for humanity by reducing the. world's colds by even one-third. Scientists have asserted that at least 90 per cent of colds, flu. sore throat and similar diseases enter the body through the mouth. Considering this, the company points out. millions of dollars would be. saved by eliminating the common glass in offices, factories and stores. Asa remedy for this, the company suggests the use of Burt paper drinking cups. The Burt cup is conical in design, requiring less paper to make, requiring less space for packing and costing less to ship. Thus it is less expensive than flat bottom cups.
